Built-in 1890, this residence bears witness to the vibrant history of Kensington Village. Remnants of the original stables, once bustling with horses serving the famous Adelaide and Suburban Tramway Co. connection between Kensington and the city, confirm the home's rich heritage.
Sitting behind the original wrought iron fence, crafted by local blacksmiths, the home's exemplary examples of Victorian architecture are on display. Intricate lacework adorns the eyelash-front verandah, intricate cast moldings around the windows, and stunning bluestone walls down the sides of the home confirm the home's status as a landmark property.
Beautifully preserved, extended, and modernised over the years, the home will appeal to families. Its generous and deep (64m) allotment showcases an in-ground pool and multiple outdoor entertainment areas.
This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a rich history and look to the future, renovating further, redeveloping the home, or extending and creating an extraordinary modern masterpiece at the rear to take full advantage of the deep allotment (subject to necessary consents).
The home offers 3 or 4 large bedrooms from the main rooms at the front of the home. Alternatively, enjoy a formal living room overlooking the front garden with a show-stopping marble fireplace. Two bedrooms have built-in robes, and there are two modern bathrooms, one with a claw-foot, stand-alone bath-giving a nod to the home's historic elements.
Beautiful, polished timber floors, leadlight-coloured windows, an arched central hall, 3.7m high ceilings, molded ceiling details, original fireplaces, and a stunning marble fireplace in the living room are just a few examples of outstanding preserved character features.
